This city simulation game can affect reality.

Chapter 37 Territorial Increase

The ruling will take at least half a month.

After returning to the resort, Chen Jun drove to the location of the chemical plant to conduct an on-site investigation.

According to the rules of City Simulator, you can only take over full control when the land actually belongs to you.

Otherwise, even on the game's map page, you can only see the external model, which cannot be detailed.

Standing on a small earthen slope with a good view, Chen Jun could barely make out the general layout of the chemical plant's interior.

Compared to the resort, this land is clearly being used much more efficiently.

This also means that if the subsequent acquisition goes smoothly, his workload will be enormous.

"The core production area will inevitably be completely demolished, and the living area has no value. It would be better to replicate the apartment model of the resort."

With some simple calculations in his mind, Chen Jun drove back to the resort while thinking.

With the two key tools, 【Terrain Editing】 and 【Clear Spring Hub】, environmental governance is actually not that difficult.

Over the years, the savings can amount to the value of an entire resort.

However, Chen Jun does not yet have a complete plan for the subsequent land use; he only has two preliminary options in mind.

......

A few days passed, and while Chen Jun was busy handling the acquisition, new information came from Lao Zhou.

The monitoring agency sent some experts to Longgu River to conduct on-site investigations and set up sampling sections based on the river's topography, water flow, and pollution history.

"The experimental analysis will take two to three weeks, and the organization will compile a detailed report based on the data."

Old Zhou recounted the outcome of his negotiations with the monitoring station.

"Could the time be shortened a bit more? We're still waiting to purchase fish fry."

"I've consulted experts, and this is already the fastest speed. If there are any setbacks along the way, it might take even longer."

"Alright."

Knowing that Lao Zhou had been working intensely for a long time recently, Chen Jun suggested, "There's not much to do on any of the projects lately, so you should take a break and relax for a couple of days."

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

A smile appeared on Lao Zhou's face; he was already exhausted and had no reason to refuse.

Since Chen Jun took over, he has been extremely busy with one big or small matter after another.

......

......

For the next ten days or so, nothing much happened at the resort.

At the woodcutter's hut, Li Qingxin's experience bar growth slowed down due to the time spent teaching, but it still gradually reached 652/700.

Breaking through Lv5 is just around the corner.

Perhaps due to a lack of exciting content in recent videos, the number of viewers in the live stream has remained around 2500, making it difficult to increase further.

And apart from occasional large donations, the overall income has returned to normal levels.

This is a bottleneck period that every creator of Douyin (a type of Chinese poetry) inevitably faces.

However, for Li Qingxin, it wasn't because she had run out of creative ideas.

The current period of relative calm is simply a time to recharge and prepare for the next challenge.

With continued online promotion, more and more students are heading to the resort to sign up for woodworking courses.

In just half a month, the number of students attending both hobby classes and certification classes has increased significantly.

The registration fee has even gradually become the resort's main source of income.

As for Longjiyewang, some businesses that were struggling seemed to be considering terminating their leases after a few days of hard work.

Some people with lower investment costs have transformed into food stalls.

The barbecue stall that Gao Shuyao was in charge of managing gradually gained recognition from tourists thanks to his efforts.

His own experience points have reached 868/1000.

If it weren't for the relatively few customers in the first two days, we might have already successfully broken through to Lv2.

......

On October 8th, Zhang Xuan called Chen Jun to inform him of the court's final ruling.

"Mr. Chen, the court's Civil Ruling has been issued, and your proposed transfer plan has been approved. We'll need you to make a trip to the firm for the next steps."

As expected, things went smoothly.

This is undoubtedly due to the chemical plant's overuse of the surrounding land over the years.

Without this daunting management fee, it would be a pipe dream for a resort of its size to acquire such a prime location.

Suppressing his inner joy for the time being, Chen Jun still dutifully went to the firm to carry out the final handover work.

Once this step is completed, he only needs to use the ruling to transfer the acquisition funds into the court-designated escrow account.

Then, take the ruling and payment receipt to the real estate registration center to complete the transfer procedures.

In just three days, Chen Jun completed all the tasks effortlessly, without encountering any obstacles throughout the process.

It happened so fast that it even felt somewhat unreal to him.

This also reflects that this piece of land is undoubtedly the hottest of all the hot potatoes.

Assuming that ultimately no one can take over, the contaminated land cannot simply be left unattended...

This amount of funding for governance will undoubtedly put enormous pressure on the government.

After finishing all the remaining tasks, Chen Jun returned to the resort without stopping.

In the game interface of "City Simulator", the data changed as expected.

[Hita City]

[Area: 0.097 square kilometers]

Resident satisfaction: 37%

City attractiveness: 41

The entire 5.1 hectares of territory fell into Chen Jun's hands.

At the same time, the area on the map interface that originally belonged to the chemical plant can now be freely scrolled.

The invisible wall disappeared, and all the details inside were fully revealed to Chen Jun.

Overall, the buildings left behind by the chemical plant are divided into four areas.

First, the core production area.

Secondly, the warehousing and logistics area.

Thirdly, the office and living areas.

Fourth, the infrastructure zone.

Without a doubt, the core production area was the most polluted area on the entire former chemical plant site.

This includes the main workshop, cooling towers and water pools, as well as a raw material tank area storing toxic chemicals.

This land is not only severely polluted, but the buildings are also dilapidated. Without renovation, it has no value whatsoever.

As for the storage and logistics areas, they are nothing more than piles of coal and raw materials.

Although the degree of contamination is relatively small, the demolition will take a long time due to the large area involved.

However, for Chen Jun, every disadvantage has its advantage.

Once this land is demolished, there will be plenty of open space available for you to use as you please.

As for the office and living areas, Chen Jun naturally wouldn't keep the original buildings.

He preferred to replicate the resort's simple office space exactly as it was.

Alternatively, the integrated service center could be pasted onto the original site and then some minor modifications made.
